Kanye Presents Diddy With Lifetime Achievement Award At 2022 BET Awards
Kanye has managed to stay out of the public eye as of late but decided to make an appearance at last night’s BET awards. During the tribute to Diddy, R&B legend, Babyface, spoke on the legendary producer and Bad Boy founder, and then gave the mic over to Kanye.
He was introduced as Ye, and the crowd cheered, however, the crowd intensified when he actually walked on stage.
“How do we crown our kings? How do we appreciate our kings?” Ye said. “To think how far we could just make if off of inspiration, to hear the way somebody chopped a sample in… rushing to see who could get the Bad Boy mixtape and play back the original version of “Benjamins,” over and over, thinking I was one of the Hit Men. To see Puff in real life at the ‘Missing You’ video, just like me tapping free like a little kid… I just need to meet this man. This is my favorite artist. You see I’m saying favorite artist, everything, not specifically production, the trip. Back then there was so many rules to hip-hop and he broke all of them.”
Ye continued, “Understood contracts in a way a lot of us still don’t. Understood money in a way a lot of us still don’t. I go to him for advice to this day. He inspired so many of my choices. So many of my life choices. My wife choices. And here we are. Thanks for that, Puff… I was signed to Puff without him knowing… That statement is not legally binding!”
During his acceptance speech, Diddy paid tribute to Kim Porter, who passed away in 2018, and pledged $1 million to Howard University and $1 million to Dieon Sanders and Jackson State University.
You can watch Ye and Diddy’s speeches below.

Kanye West Honored Diddy With A Surprise And Slightly Head-Scratching Appearance At The 2022 BET Awards
Sunday night’s 2022 BET Award show was filled with plenty of key moments. None may have top the unexpected appearance that Kanye West during the show. It occurred during speeches for Diddy’s tribute set, which went down after Diddy led a tribute performance for himself with help from Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, The LOX, Lil’ Kim, Busta Rhymes, Bryson Tiller, and Faith Evans. After Babyface shared some words about Diddy, he welcomed Kanye West on stage to speak about Diddy who appeared in a heavy jacket and sunglasses over a dark face mask that seemed to be a bit hard for him to breathe in.

During his speech, Kanye explained his recent hiatus from the public eye, saying, “I took a little hiatus. I said I wanted to just, like, declare myself legally dead for a year.” He then noted that he made his way to the BET Awards stage because “Puff is pretty persistent.” Kanye did thank Diddy for being such a heavy influence on his life and artistry, but he did so in a very Kanye-esque way. “He inspired so many of my choices,” he said. “So many of my life choices. My wife choices. And here we are. Thanks for that, Puff.” Elsewhere, Kanye thanked Diddy for his knowledge about contracts and suggested some nitrous oxide “if anybody is stressed out.”

Diddy Leads His Own Tribute Performance With Help From Mary J Blige, Busta Rhymes, And More At The 2022 BET Awards
Diddy has been a staple in the game for decades, and BET gave him a proper tribute at tonight’s 2022 BET Awards. Jodeci and Mary J Blige delivered the vocals before Diddy himself appeared to perform “Victory,” “All About The Benjamins” with The LOX and Lil’ Kim, “I Need A Girl (Part 2),” “Pass The Courvoisier” alongside Busta Rhymes (though they changed Courvoisier to Ciroc), and the recent single “Gotta Move On” featuring Bryson Tiller. A tribute video with kind words from the late Kim Porter played in the background before Diddy led the crowd in a moving performance of “I’ll Be Missing You” that Faith Evans joined in.
Diddy has seen much award show recognition over his storied career, walking away with the Lifetime Achievement award tonight (June 26) to now hold his fourth victory out of ten nominations. He made an impassioned speech that culminated in the “Last Night” artist donating $1 million to Howard University and Deion Sanders’ Jackson State football team. Previously, he received the most nominations from the BET Hip Hop Awards and the Grammys at 12, taking home two and three trophies from each show respectively.
The mogul recently released “Gotta Move On” with Bryson Tiller, an official version of a Soundcloud leak with just Tiller that was floating around the internet for the last few years. The Bad Boy founder was recently honored with the compilation album Bad Boy Celebrates Diddy: The Artist which was released this past Friday (June 24). The project includes some of the most classic records from Diddy’s closest collaborators, specifically “Through The Pain (She Told Me),” “Been Around The World,” “I’ll Be Missing You,” and “It’s All About The Benjamins – Remix” with names like The Notorious B.I.G, Mase, Mario Winans, Lil’ Kim, and The Lox.

Drake Shows Love To Ma$e & Diddy With 90s Bad Boys-inspired Outfit
Drake steps into his 90s bag with his latest fit.
Following the release of his latest project, Honestly, Nevermind, The Boy has been active promoting the project. During the week, he was spotted wearing an outfit that was straight out of a Bad Boys Record label video in the late 90s.
One of Drake close friends, DJ Carnage took to TikTok to show off Drizzy’s fit and asking TikTok to rate it. The “Jimmy Cooks” artist donned a navy blue leather Ma$e jersey, baggy jeans and white air force ones.
Carnage first compliments his friend. He then asks how he feels. Drake does his best Ma$e dance impression, along withe a Harlem Shake. What would you rate Drake’s Puffy and Ma$e-inspired fit.
The homage comes on the heels of French Montana’s story of helping to squash the beef between his two friends, Drake and Diddy.
With the release of Honestly, Nevermind, we’re going to see more of Drake as he promotes his project.
He even went online to defend the project after its initial criticism. The Toronto native urged that he’ll wait for fans to “catch up,” in regards to the House and Jersey club influenced-project that the album possessed.
Nevertheless, it will continue usher its way into our playlist as Summer is underway, despite its criticism.
